I was in a Kawasaki dealership today and saw a ZX14R in the same color scheme as yours. Mine is a 2013 in white and I admit the 2021 paint is a nicer looking bike. I'm in PA too, east of Pittsburgh.
Your ZX14R is very cool looking I had a 06 ZX14 for 11 years, 2 years ago I got 2013 ZX14R with low miles set up similar to yours other than sprockets I love how fast it is
Just picked mine up last week and so far LOVE it. Only have gone 40miles still breaking it in. Also thanks for the look with the Brocks. I still have not made a decision on what exhaust I’m going with.
I have a 08 zx14, 16 zx14R, se and I’m actually going to pick up my 2021 zx14R in the next couple days. I love the platform. I own a 06 650r , and a 08 zx10R . The 650 is fun but it needs a new home . I’m not getting rid of my zx10r or any of my zx14’s
Looks like you put that exhaust header on yourself? I have an Akra header that I need to do but I can't seem to get the radiator to swing out far enough to work in there....trying to avoid taking the radiator off completely. Good looking bike.
If you get in there and disconnect a few things it’s not too bad to get to. Just take your time. I pulled my fans and moved a few things around but it wasn’t bad. Pulling the fairings was the worst!
Almost bought the 14r new. Figured it was a waste of money since nothing was changed other than color. Came across a nice 2012 model with full two bros exhaust system, ecu most definitely not flashed but that’ll change this month. My favorite color scheme for it was the 2012 metallic spark black, 2013 red, 2014 matte black with red, 2018 green. Love Kawasaki but not a fan of green but the way they painted that 2018 model was nice! Nice seat you have also. I believe Kawasaki will not kill it off just yet. There will be an upgraded model. Hope so anyway
I had the 2012 SE color scheme. At first wasn’t sure how I felt about it, but when I sold it I missed it bad. I like most of the colors they’ve released. I do love this color scheme though, and for what the used ones in my area were selling for I figured I might as well get new and know what I have. I do love these bikes though. But I totally agree, all the second generation bikes are pretty much the same.
Ninja ZX14R is my dream bike... right now I have a Ninja 400. I have 5'5 170 lbs (I'm trying to lose some weight though) would this be a good second bike or should I look into upgrading to a ZX-6R instead. What is your opinion.
Picked mine up last Friday. My second one actually. “First one resting in pieces”. Ordered the brocks but on back order for 6 to 8 weeks!!! 😢. Did you by any chance had to wait for your pipes too? Hopefully the Moore mafia flash won’t be too crappy on the stock pipes while I wait.
Think I’m gonna get one. If it’s the last year they make it and I miss my 2010 zx14 anyway. It’s also cheaper than all other bikes right now. Hayabusa is priced too high.
Great color cheme on these 2021 😎👍🏻 I have a ZX14R/ZZR1400 (Euro) 2017 and a HD V-Rod Muscle 2017. Just love the ZZR1400. I guess you changed the sprockets for a bit more acceleration?

The answer to that question is totally based on your specific dealer. I spoke with mine and they had no problem with it, but they also sell a lot of sport bikes.
@@romez6610 yeah my dealer told me they were good with all the mods except the ecu reflash. They told me that with the ecu reflash if it were to fail I wold need to buy a new ecu. But I think that’s a pretty reasonable stance.
